Pediatrics Residency
Pediatric Boards
The program provides didactic board review at Academic Half Day, monthly evening sessions with dinner, a structured USF course in May/June for all PL3s. A faculty member is assigned to focus on board review.
All residents have full access to the PREP questions by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Additionally, each has access to the AMBOS Board review question bank and their on-line curriculum.
Residents are given a subscription to the Peds RAP podcast.
MedStudy Pediatric Core books are given to all interns to use throughout their residency. MedStudy flashcards are available in all workrooms. MedStudy online board review is provided to PL3s.
There are multiple other videos, review materials, question banks, etc. that have been used in the past by the program and are available to the residents upon request. Residents at risk of not passing their boards have more extensive oversight and mentorship. Executive functioning skills and/or test-taking strategy counseling is available through the HR resources.
Board Review Course
Each graduating class is permitted and encouraged to attend a board review course typically held in Miami. The costs are covered by the program.
Board Review Should Be Engaging and Fun!
Each month, there is a nice dinner held at a local restaurant for the residents. Either a subspecialist or generalist run the didactic component of the evening.
Monthly quizzes are sent via the NEJM question bank app to all residents - those who complete their quizzes on time can earn academic prizes.
